Harvard University

Donhee Ham is Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics and Electrical
Engineering at Harvard University, where he has been with School of Engineering
& Applied Sciences
since September 2002.

Ham, from Busan, Korea, earned a B.S. degree in physics from
Seoul National University in 1996, where he graduated
summa cum laude with the Presidential Prize, ranked top 1st
across the College of Natural Sciences, and also with the Physics Gold Medal
(sole winner). Following a 1.5-year mandatory military service in the
Republic of Korea Army, he went to Caltech for graduate training in physics.
There he worked on general relativity and gravitational astrophysics under
Professor Barry
Barish
while in physics, and later obtained a Ph.D. in electrical engineering
in 2002 winning the Charles Wilts
Prize awarded for the best thesis in Electrical Engineering. His doctoral
work examined the statistical physics of electrical circuits. He was the
recipient of the IBM Doctoral Fellowship, Li Ming Scholarship, IBM Faculty
Partnership Award, IBM Research Design Challenge Award, and
the fellow of the Korea Foundation of Advanced Studies.
He shared Harvard's Hoopes prize with William Andress. He was recognized
by MIT
Technology Review as among the world's top 35 young innovators
in 2008 (TR35). Ham was selected as a Harvard Yearbook Favorite
Professor 4 years in a row (2011-2014), and was one of 8 Harvard
Thinks Big speakers in 2012 (8 Harvard faculty chosen by colleage-wide
votes). He served as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for the Solid-State Circuits
Society (2012-2013).

Donhee Ham's work experiences include Caltech-MIT Laser Interferometer
Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), IBM T. J. Watson Research, Consulting
Visiting Professorship at POSTECH, IEEE conference technical program
committees including the IEEE International
Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) and the IEEE Asian Solid-State
Circuits Conference (ASSCC), advisory board for the IEEE International
Symposium on Circuits & Systems (ISCAS), international advisory board for the Institute for Nanodevice
and Biosystems, and various US, Korea, and Japan industry, government,
& academic technical advisory positions on subjects including ultrafast
electronics, science & technology at the nanoscale, and convergence
of information technology and biotechnology. He served as a guest editor
for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State
Circuits (JSSC; Jan 2009
special issue) and was a co-editor of
CMOS Biotechnology with Springer (2007).
He is an associate editor for IEEE
Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems.
